I have checked out the mirors list in debian.org. I tried most of
them in /etc/apt/sources.list. But none succeeded in downloading
package indexes

deb-src http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ unstable main non-free
contrib deb http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US unstable/non-US

After doing a `update` from the above sources list, when I tried to do
this $apt-get install xdm (or any pack)

I get this error
Reading package lists ... Error!
E: Dynamic MMap ran out of room
E: Error occured while processing crossfire-client-sounds (NewFileVar1)
E: Problem with MergeList

/var/lib/apt/lists/_Debian-CDs_CD3_dists_stable_main_binary-i386_PackagesE:

The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.

Now the problem is not there, as I removed sources from ISOs from
sources.list, though that is dirty hack, but it seems like a bug in apt.

since, i am not experienced in debian , i can't get any idea from it.
can anyone help?

should work.

Regards
